UPDATES: New light aesthetics and other minor changes in appearance (no changes to main structure of the map), reduced spiker ammo to 0 clips instead of 2, added a plasma grenade next to the pistol near blue initial spawn to give both players single access to two plasmas (may reduce to 2 total if necessary for the contest), added game type - oddball

Greetings, here is my latest map created for the FHSmackdown 1v1 tournament. There are about 4 areas where battles will primarily take place, with each area in the map having a unique design that fits with the general style of the map. The size of the map may seem large, but with the Smackdown settings, it works very well. I've played a few games and a reaching a score of 15 doesn't take long to complete. While there is no specific theme for this map, I tried to construct it to feel and look like an real place and not just a bunch of blocks walls and incline pieces. Gameplay and aesthetics were my two primary focuses on this map. Iv'e done my best to make it a well balanced asymmetrical map but as always I'm open for suggestions and/or comments if you see areas of improvement {weapons, spawning, etc.)
